Lincoln Corner Karachi has announced a call for a guest speaker for its upcoming session on “Cyber Diplomacy: Navigating Security and Sovereignty in the Digital Age,” scheduled to be held on August 27, 2025. The event will run from 2:00 PM to 4:00 PM at Lincoln Corner Karachi and is designed to bring together policymakers, professionals, and digital governance enthusiasts to discuss one of the most pressing themes of the era: how nations balance cybersecurity with state sovereignty while engaging in international digital negotiations.
The program has been structured to encourage active learning and discussion, aiming to shed light on the increasing role of diplomacy in managing global cybersecurity challenges. With digital technologies becoming central to both governance and international relations, the session will address how governments, institutions, and organizations manage disputes, negotiate agreements, and navigate complex issues in cyberspace. The two-hour session will include expert insights as well as an interactive component in the form of a digital negotiation simulation, offering participants a chance to explore the intricacies of diplomatic decision-making in a cyber context.
Lincoln Corner Karachi has extended an open invitation to professionals, academics, and practitioners with demonstrated expertise in cybersecurity, cyber governance, and digital policy to participate as the lead speaker for the event. This call particularly appeals to individuals who have engaged in policy development, cybersecurity strategy, or multilateral cooperation on digital matters. While the speaking engagement is voluntary, it offers a platform for experts to share their knowledge with an engaged audience comprising students, researchers, and policy enthusiasts eager to understand the evolving dynamics of cyber diplomacy.
The event is part of Lincoln Corner Karachi’s broader mission to create knowledge-sharing opportunities that bridge academic insights with real-world applications. By focusing on cyber diplomacy, the program aims to highlight the importance of building dialogue and cooperation across borders to manage digital threats while preserving national sovereignty. In an increasingly interconnected digital landscape, cyberattacks, disinformation campaigns, and data privacy concerns have made international collaboration essential. Events like this seek to create an environment where ideas on digital sovereignty, trust-building, and cross-border cybersecurity frameworks can be openly debated and understood.
By engaging voices from the cybersecurity and policy ecosystem, the session is expected to generate valuable discussion not just for participants but also for stakeholders in academia, civil society, and government sectors who are interested in how diplomacy is adapting to digital realities. Lincoln Corner Karachi has emphasized that the objective is not only to share knowledge but also to equip participants with a better understanding of the challenges and opportunities in cyber diplomacy, helping them develop informed perspectives on the policies shaping the digital future.
